Document background
The Transfer Copyright Ownership Contract is essential when permanent transfer of copyright ownership is required under Singapore law. This document is commonly used in business acquisitions, content licensing deals, or when creators wish to sell their rights. It must comply with Singapore's Copyright Act 2021 and includes crucial elements such as work identification, transfer terms, warranties, and consideration. The contract ensures clear documentation of ownership transfer and helps prevent future disputes regarding copyright ownership.
